Authorities said Wednesday that the man who owns a reeking Sioux City home where dozens of cats were removed faces 14 counts of animal neglect.

The man was identified as 56-year-old Mark Lanning, of Sioux City.

More than four dozen cats were removed from the home on Monday, and officials found several cat carcasses as well. Cindy Rarrat, of Sioux City Animal Adoption & Rescue Center, says conditions inside the house were unbearable.
